A reader at a desk with a printed privacy page and a notebook with three short notes on what the desk reads. — Reading desk · privacy.html

[01] What the desk collects

The data the desk collects, and the small list of habits that protect the reader.

The first note: the data the desk collects. The second: the data the desk does not collect. The third: the small list of habits.

The data the desk collects is the minimum needed to run the affiliate link and to read the page traffic. The desk collects the page URL, the referrer, the country code, and the device class. The desk does not collect the name, the email, the phone number, or the account ID. Reading the data list once is the cheapest way to know what the desk reads.

The data the desk does not collect is the data the desk does not need. The desk does not need the name to read the page traffic; the desk does not need the email to send a newsletter (the desk does not send a newsletter). Reading the negative list once is the cheapest way to know what the desk does not read.
